Western Railroad Discussion > UP 1982 visits Western Wisconsin

Word came forth that UP 1982, the MOP heritage unit was going to be the lead engine on a grain train,  loading out in Western Minnesota  on CP's Heavy Haul Railroad.
With rrartist activating the Western Wisc tip line on June 18th, thanks Jim,  here are the results.

Image 4,  After 380 cleared the switch at River Jct, West, (MN)  CP's tech train with CP 2236  departed and  went west., 

The CP's drawbridge across the Mighty Mississippi River is 10 mph.  This allows us the ample opportunity to proceed east on I-90 to further pixel our train.

Image 5 has us in downtown Bangor, Wi.
                
Image 6    Dispatcher put 380 in siding at Bangor for Amtrak 8,  Empire Builder.   The East end of the siding is called Bangor East,  tho physically located in  Rockland, Wi.
